Ethereum Starts the Year with a Decline
Ethereum (ETH) saw a nearly 7% drop in January, contrasting with broader cryptocurrency market gains and Bitcoin’s performance. ETH’s price fell from $3,400 on January 1 to an intraday low of $3,170 on January 27, according to CoinGecko.
Historically Strong Months: February and March
Despite a weak start to the year, analysts point out that February and March have historically been bullish months for Ethereum. Data from CoinGlass reveals that ETH has only recorded a February decline once—in 2018—following a 50% drop in January.
“February and March are generally very strong months for Ethereum,” noted futures trader CoinMamba on platform X.
Over the past six consecutive years, Ethereum has posted gains in February. Its largest February increase occurred in 2024, when the price surged 46%, climbing from $2,280 to $3,380. February 2017 was another standout period, with ETH rising 48%, from $11 to nearly $16.
March and April: Favorable Periods for ETH
March has also been historically positive for Ethereum. In seven of the past nine years, ETH recorded gains in March, with April showing growth in six years.
Analysts Remain Optimistic
Despite January’s decline, optimism remains strong among Ethereum supporters and analysts.
“In my eight years as an analyst, I’ve never seen a chart as strong as ETH’s,” said analyst Wolf on platform X on January 26. “Ethereum is the best asymmetric bet you can make,” he added.
Leadership Changes at Ethereum Foundation
Anthony Sassano, an Ethereum educator, recently commented on leadership changes within the Ethereum Foundation. He described these developments as bringing about “a significant shift not just in the vibes but also in the community’s hunger for success.”
Current Price and Broader Market
Ethereum is currently trading at $3,183, reflecting a 4.5% daily decline. It has dropped 35% from its all-time high of $4,878 in November 2021 and has yet to mirror the gains seen by Bitcoin and other high-cap cryptocurrencies.
